Clean, walking distance, lots of ready-to-eat food including fried chicken, sushi, salads and more.
You will probably want to buy some food as eating out is not a large part of the loacl culture but taking food to a scenic place and eating at home truly is!

Get your poutine here! French fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy...an Acadian favorite that's drifted south of the Canadian border.
Also, fish & chips on Friday ...local favorite!
Only takeout; not super cheap but the food is much better quality than chain fast food. Prepared to order.
Arguably the take-out favorite in the nearby area.

Fountain. Marcel Duchamps. No real connection except play on idea of washroom.
Carl's place has two supersized machines costing $4.50 a wash and maybe 20 regular ones, $3 per. Dryer .25 cents per five minutes.
If the pandemic becomes an issue again, can do small loads at my house but it's all motorhome sized washer and tumble dryer, 8lbs per load. $10 per wash and dry load at 45 Orchard.

The selection drastically narrows and prices climb after Bangor.
